Getting to know you. . .

I was asked to take a quiz the other day. You know the kind of quiz that has about 20 of the most random and pointless questions, all aimed at "getting to know you" through your answers to such questions??
I filled out one of those.
On request from church, mind you.
Apparently, people at church don't feel they know me well enough.
Maybe they were happier in their ignorance.
:)

One of the questions was:
'What is the most-played song on your ipod?'

My answer:
"God Called In Sick Today" by AFI.
Yep.

Church asked the question.
"God Called In Sick Today" is the answer.

I love the universe when it is awesome like that!

By the way, it is a great song, on a great album, "Black Sails in the Sunset."


Anyone who really knows me will find it funny.
I think it's funny, anyway....

Notable quotables. . .

Some funny things heard around our house lately...


Savannah and Barrett talking about their respective softball and baseball teams:
"My team is the Blue Jays, Barrett. And I'm number 9, just like you!"
"Cool, Savannah. But my team is the Bats, and that's more awesome than Blue Jays. Hey, Savannah, do you think Dad would still let us play if our team was the Yankees?"
"Well, maybe he'd let us play, but we would have to wear a different shirt to the games."


Charlotte to Barrett:
"I don't care what Spiderman's other name is Barrett, I'm a girl."
"It's Peter Parker, Char."
"Barrett, I don't care. But you're a boy, so you can care about Spiderman, I guess."


Barrett to Mom:
"Mom, where are you?"
"I'll be right out, I'm in the bathroom."
"Oh. Are you draining your sea monster, Mom?"

A Very Nice Day. . .

Today, the kids got home from school, and we listened to this:
 

and this:

Listening to the rain softly pound the windows, while Otis Redding plays on the Ipod.
A rather good afternoon, don't you think so?
